We are pleased to announce our newest member to the GAHCC, Global Prepaid Solutions, head-quarted here in Austin Texas. Global Prepaid Solutions in partnership with TeleNet Services special-izes in providing employers, whose employees do not have bank accounts, with simple and cost effec-tive direct deposit solutions. Following four years of planning and negotiations with a key U.S. partner, the Mexican government-owned bank, Banco Del Ahorro National y Servicios Financieros, S.N.C. (BANSEFI), has authorized the use of its popular L@Red de la Gente name and logo on a payroll card in the U.S.

The L@Red de la Gente payroll card offered by Global Prepaid Solutions does not replace existing payroll services, but rather is designed to eliminate paying employees with paper checks. The L@Red de la Gente Payroll Card saves the employer, on average over $2.50 per employee per payroll cycle compared to printing and processing paper checks. The card also eliminates expensive check cashing fees charged to employees who do not have bank accounts. The new L@Red de la Gente payroll card is unique in that it also serves as a prepaid debit card and all transactions are FDIC insured. The most important of these will be transferring funds, cardholders can transfer money from the card to any bank account in Mexico for only $4.50 and with no fee to receive the money in Mexico. In addition to cash transfers, the L@Red de la Gente card can be used as a debit card to shop at millions of retail locations throughout the U.S. The cardholder can also withdrawal cash at over 150,000 ATMs utilizing the Pulse, Star, or Discover network, across the country. “With tremendous savings to the employer and greater security and flexibility for the employee, this is truly a winning solution,” says Shawn Goodlett, President of Global Prepaid Solutions. If you would like more information on how this valuable offering can benefit you and your employees, please contact Shawn Goodlett (English) or Patricia Funegra (Spanish) at 512-626-6865.

Economic Development Highlights

Austin Business Journal - by Laura Hipp ABJ Staff Friday, April 11, 2008 Eduardo Ramirez says his company, Soluciones Tecnológicas, is the answer to the weak dollar for Austin tech companies. Rather than outsource software development to Eastern Europe and Asia -- where the shrinking value of the dollar hurts profit margins -- Ramirez says his designers can do the work faster and cheaper from Guadalajara, a city of 1.6 million people near the western coast of Mexico. His firm is one of six in a consortium of software companies in Guadalajara working with the Greater Austin Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to make inroads in the American market. The program, called Aportia, aims to increase the profile of Guadalajara's booming tech sector and the number of deals with American companies. Aportia can be the "secret weapon" for American compa-nies seeking to become more competitive through cheaper labor and faster delivery times, says Ramirez, general manager and director of business development at Soluciones Tecnológicas. Guadalajara is four hours from Austin by air. Aportia, which plans to expand to other Mexican and U.S. cities, launched in February. Guadalajara calls itself the Silicon Valley of Mexico, and too few Austin companies are aware of the resources, says Nayeli Gallegos, director of international business develop-ment for the chamber. Rather than seeking affordable software developers over-seas where language and time barriers are larger, compa-nies should look closer to home, she says. "We're trying to say that Guadalajara can be as good as [other countries] are," she says. The Mexican companies participating in Aportia combine their resources to allow 300 workers to work together on projects, she says. Exper-tise ranges from software for health care to manufacturing to agriculture. "These companies are interested in establishing business relationships bilaterally," she says. "The chamber's trying to create that two-way street."

Manny Chavez, CEO of Austin-based Maren Systems, plans to contract with the Mexican firms on current projects under bid. His company makes radio-frequency tracking technology. Chavez, who sits on the Aportia subcommittee at the chamber, expects the program to spread beyond chamber members. He spends more than $700,000 annually on developers in Southeast Asia. Using workers in Mexico could cut those costs by 40 percent and reduce communication issues and product delivery times, he says. More collaboration between Texas and Mexico is a logical move for two places that share history and culture, says Amado Espinoza, who helped form Aportia. "Doing something with Mexican companies can be more advantageous for the American companies," he says. Money invested in Mexican companies means more tech-nologies can be developed for American producers, he says. He predicts the average revenue growth for Mexican soft-ware firms in Aportia will rise 12-15 percent annually. Espinoza learned how to reach U.S. businesses when his

company participated in TechBA, a de-velopment program for Mexican compa-nies at the IC2 Institute at the University of Texas. Espinoza is president and CEO of Medisist Inc., which provides software for health care companies. He expects to pick up another $1 million in revenue from work through Aportia, a 25 percent boost to his operations. The company, started in 1995, has 38 workers.

At Soluciones Tecnológicas, Ramirez hopes his $5 million annual revenue will grow by 20 percent in 2009 through the program. The company makes software for automobile makers and their suppliers, and has 42 workers. "We have the talent," Ramirez says. "However, we have to develop more effective ways of conveying that message, not only in Texas but in the U.S." [email protected] | (512) 494-2524 All contents of this site © American City Business Journals Inc.

The program aims to ensure that by the time a child enters their first year of school, at age 6, the child is prepared to become a healthy, happy, and smart student. Success by 6 administers the Child Care Facility Improvement Project, funded by the City of Austin, which helps 10 local child-care centers with new supplies and build-ing improvements. The Johnston High School advisors and students visited the Kids Campus by The Y at Oakhill, where they diligently worked together to improve the campus’ outdoor playground. The GAHCC advisors and JHS students participation in the project made a big difference!
